When mom got home, she was upset with me because I think she was expecting the freezer and refrigerator to be completely empty and everything moved. While I did not remove some minor things that needed to stay cool like a few bottles of salad dressing, a bottle of mayo and ketchup...ya know stuff like that, most of the important on a need to be cool basis stuff was removed. Other stuff that remained in there were her apples, oranges, candy...you know...stuff that did not necessarily need to stay cool but I suppose I should have known better. I think it would have been better for me if I just traveled during Thanksgiving, have the refrigerator break down while everyone was gone, and come back to disinfect it. At least I wouldn't have been blamed for anything...maybe...
Anyways, for those interested, a "refrigerator mechanic" came to look at it and discovered the problem. A broken relay switch. He had it fixed in less then half an hour.
